4. Total cost of Direct Labor

Quarter 2 $ 37,200

Quarter 3 $ 34,100

Quarter 4 $ 31,000

Total Year for direct labor $ 130,200

Explanation:

Computation of raw material purchases

Raw material consumption

Qtr No of Units per qtr Total Requirement

1 9,000 * 7 gms per unit = 63,000 gms

2 12,000 * 7 gms per unit = 84,000 gms

3 11,000 * 7 gms per unit = 77,000 gms

4 10,000 * 7 gms per unit = 70,000 gms

Total Year 294,000 gms

Raw Material Purchases for each quarter

Purchases = Closing inventory + Consumption - Opening inventory

1 21,000 (84,000gms * 25 % ) + 63,000 - 15.750 = 68,250 gms

2 19,250 (77,000gms* 25 %) + 84,000 - 21,000 = 82,250 gms

3 17,500 ( 70,000gms* 25 %) + 77,000-19,250 = 75,250 gms

4 8,000 ( As per data) + 70,000-17.500 = 60,500 gms

Total year purchases = = 286,250 gms

Cost of purchases

Quarter 1 68,250 gms * $ 1.20 = $ 81,900

Quarter 2 82,250 gms * $ 1.20 = $ 98,700

Quarter 3 75,250 gms * $ 1,20 = $ 90,300

Quarter 4 60,500 gms * $ 1,20 = $ 72,600

Total purchases $ 343,500

Computation of cash disbursements for purchases

Quarter 1 Payments = Opening Payables + 60 % of quarter 1

$ 5,600 + ( 60 %* $ 81,900) = $ 5,600 + $ 49,140 = $ 54,740

Quarter 2 payments

(40 % of quarter 1) + ( 60 % of quarter 2)

($ 81,900 * 40 %) + ( $ 98,700 * 60 %)

$ 32,760 + $ 59,220 = $ 91,980

Quarter 3 payments

(40 % of quarter 2) + ( 60 % of quarter 3)

($ 98,700 * 40 %) + ( $ 90,300 * 60 %)

$ 39,480 + $ 54,180 = $ 93.660

Quarter 4 payments

(40 % of quarter 3) + ( 60 % of quarter 4)

($ 90,300 * 40 %) + ( $ 72,600 * 60 %)

$ 36,120 + $ 43,560 = $ 79,680

Total payments for purchases for the year $ 320,060

Computation of direct labor cost

No of units * Estimated Direct labor hours * Labor rate per hour

Quarter 1 = 9,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 27.900

Quarter 2 = 12,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 37.200

Quarter 3 11,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 34.100

Quarter 4 10,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 31.000

Total cost for Direct labour $ 130,200

Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc., projected sales of 54,500 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,860 unit

MrRa [10]

Answer:

55,060 machines

Explanation:

Projected sales = 54,500

Estimated opening balance = 6,860

Desired ending balance = 7,420

Budgeted production = ?

Let the budgeted production be B

Using the formula

Opening balance + Budgeted production - Sales = Closing balance

6,860 + B - 54,500 = 7,420

B = 7,420 + 54,500 - 6,860

B = 55,060

The budgeted production for the year is 55,060 machines.

He stockholders' equity section on the December 31, 2009, balance sheet of Chemfast Corporation reported the following amounts:

Allisa [31]

Answer:

1.7900 shares

2.7300 shares

3.$22.95

4.$59

5.$6,300

6.$10.50

7.$791,000

Explanation:

The number of preferred shares=total par value of preferred shares issued/par value=$165,900/$21=7900 shares

The number of preferred shares outstanding is issued shares minus treasury stock=7900 shares-600 shares=7,300 shares

average issue price of preferred stock=(total par value+additional paid capital)/issued shares=($165,900+$15,400)/7900=$22.95

Average issue price of common stock==common stock amount/issued shares=$590,000/10000=$59

The treasury stock decreases stockholders' equity by the amount paid to repurchase the shares which is $6,300

Treasury stock cost $ per share=cost of treasury cost/number of treasury stock=$6300/600=$10.50

Total stockholders' equity in $=preferred stock+preferred stock additional paid in capital+common stock+retained earnings -treasury stock

Total stockholders' equity in $=165,900+15,400+590,000+26000-6300=$791,000
